OVERVIEW

Join us in Rochester on Wednesday, August 21 for “The Best of Red Hat.” We will begin the day with a hands-on workshop featuring Event-Driven Ansible® (EDA) Automation, plus an introduction to ServiceNow Automation. Following the workshop in the afternoon, we will feature a discussion on OpenShift® Virtualization. When our content delivery has concluded, stay for an “ask the experts” and networking happy hour. Have questions for Red Hat? Please bring them to the event!

Details about the hands-on workshop: 

As a part of Red Hat® Ansible Automation Platform, Event-Driven Ansible can process events containing discrete intelligence about conditions in the IT environment, determine the appropriate response to the event, then execute automated actions to address or remediate the event. This workshop will demonstrate Event-Driven Ansible and how it provides the event-handling capability needed to automate time-consuming tasks and respond to changing conditions in any IT domain.

In addition, Red Hat will also provide a hands-on lab on getting started with ServiceNow automation and introduce participants to the world of IT Service Management (ITSM) automation. Attendees will gain theoretical insights and dive into practical applications, acquiring valuable experience in automating tasks and processes using the powerful combination of Ansible Automation Platform and ServiceNow. Designed for individuals eager to elevate their ITSM proficiency, this course offers a unique opportunity for participants to understand Ansible and ServiceNow integrations in a dynamic and interactive learning environment.

OpenShift Virtualization Roundtable discussion:

Virtualization has become a hot topic as of late, and your organization should be combining the best of container orchestration with an ability to manage virtualized workloads—all under a single, synchronized platform. In our discussion, we will offer expert insights and real-world examples of architectures and decision points to help you in your journey to unify under one platform with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.

Who is this workshop best for?

Advanced Ansible users and SRE's will benefit from this workshop as it will introduce the domain of observability and automation. This workshop will also cover common scenarios and topics best suited for IT infrastructure engineers or IT managers looking to integrate their existing ITSM workflows into automated processes that can help them reduce their mean time to resolution (MTTR).
